“Boom!”
After the fusion of the Thunder-type spell and the Fire-type spell, its power increased manyfold and exploded with a massive bang. The intensity of its attack was so strong that even Merlin was almost unable to withstand it. His Enervating Halo held up for a second but shattered in the next instant. The powerful attack even caused Merlin’s body to be blown away violently and smashed against the wall.
One of the reasons was that the chamber was too small, therefore, the explosion of the spell affected Merlin as well. This helped Merlin discover how powerful his fused spell was. If even Enervating Halo was not able to withstand it, then it must have exceeded the Seventh-level and had achieved the Eighth-level.
“Not bad, really not bad, you’ve managed to perform a spell fusion. Though the fusion is only at the most elementary level, it’s already admirable.”
A hoarse voice sounded. Merlin hurriedly turned around, his body tensed up. Earlier, it was precisely because he felt someone was behind him that made him release the fused spell involuntarily.
However, this person did not seem to be harmed at all despite being hit by such a powerful spell, thus Merlin was very wary.
Once the dust had settled, Merlin saw a mysterious person inside the chamber. The person’s face was considerably mature but surprisingly healthy-looking. There was not a single wrinkle on his face. His silvery long hair was draped behind his shoulders, and he wore a golden-trimmed long Wizard robe. He looked energetic and was filled with elegance.
“Legend, this is the Great Legendary Wizard!”
The black cat Didimoss suddenly appeared behind Merlin. He had not awoken for a long time. Ever since he became a half-spirit, the black cat Didimoss seemed prone to sleep. Everytime he slept was for a few months.
Nevertheless, the black cat Didimoss’ words astounded Merlin.
A Great Legendary Wizard… Merlin had never met one before. He had received the power of Maxims from Great Legendary Wizards but had never seen one with his own eyes.
The black cat Didimoss’ tone was filled with certainty. In a low voice, he said, “Definitely a Legendary Wizard. This existence is even more powerful than the Great Wizard Fidel himself. Back then, when I was in the Dark Magic Region, I’ve seen some visiting Great Wizards. The peak-most Great Wizards who were starting to produce their own Maxims all had auras like this.”
Merlin’s eyes widened. He believed the deduction made by the black cat Didimoss. The fact that a mysterious person managed to appear in the Glorious Pavilion without making a sound, his identity was unquestionable. In the entire dimension, the only person with such ability was the one and only Legendary Wizard Mogan.
“Wizard Mogan!”
Merlin greeted softly. His voice sounded calm on the surface but his heart was thumping hard and refused to be subdued. The existence of a Legendary Wizard was comparable to the gods. Whereas in an era before the rise of Spell Casters, the gods were divine throughout the heavens and the earth!
“A half-spirit? Interesting. What other secrets are you hiding in your body? Let me take a look.”
Wizard Mogan looked at the black cat Didimoss on Merlin’s shoulder. With a single glance, he saw that the black cat Didimoss was a half-spirit. Following that, his gaze locked on Merlin. At this moment, Merlin wanted to move but his body seemed to be surrounded by an invisible binding force which stopped him from moving.
Wizard Mogan’s gaze was transfixed on Merlin for a long time, and his expression shifted from time to time.
“The power of Maxims. Your body is holding the power of three Maxims! Not only that but your spells were all self-derived from Fourth-level onward. You also have special Pandora Demon Abilities, not just Darkness Eye but also Glacier Country! What is even more extraordinary is that you’re a Six-Elemental Spell Caster!”
The more Wizard Mogan looked, the more he was amazed. Remarkably, with just a single gaze, he could see through all of Merlin’s secrets. Besides the Matrix, Merlin no longer had any secrets before Wizard Mogan.
Merlin was also shocked by this sequence of events. Just any single one of his secrets was enough to amaze a Great Wizard, what more all his secrets altogether?
Moreover, judging from the tone of Wizard Mogan’s voice, it was the Six-Elemental identity that he tended to overlook which was the most precious and valuable to Wizard Mogan.
Faced against a Great Legend like Wizard Mogan, Merlin had no hopes of escaping. The disparity between them was too great. Even if Merlin were able to activate the power of Maxims, he would only be able to hold on for a short moment.
A Great Legend, on par with the gods and controller of the dimension, was at the apex of all the Spell Casters!
Merlin’s secrets amazed Wizard Mogan. At first, he only came because of Darkness Eye but he did not expect to discover so many secrets on Merlin.
After a long silence, Wizard Mogan released the binding force around Merlin. Despite regaining his freedom, Merlin did not escape. After all, with Wizard Mogan right in front of him, any attempt to escape would be meaningless.
“Great Wizard Mogan, how are you going to deal with me?”
At this point, Merlin’s heart eventually calmed down. Sooner or later, he had to face the consequences.
“Deal with you? Why would I have to deal with you? Is it because of the secrets you have?”
Wizard Mogan seemed to find it amusing, and a smile appeared on his face. He continued. “So, just because of the special Pandora Demon Abilities you have, I should deal with you and make you surrender the special Pandora Demon Abilities? Haha, don’t you know, no matter how powerful the special Pandora Demon Ability, it’s impossible for us to cultivate it after we become Great Wizards. This is because all the Spell Models inside the Great Wizards have been fused into one.
“As for the Maxim inside your body, this strange Maxim would not be useful for me. On the contrary, it would cause a backlash. What use is this kind of Maxim to me?”
Wizard Mogan’s words stunned Merlin. He had been trying his best to conceal all the secrets contained in his body because his secrets were simply too shocking.
However, all his secrets, including the special Pandora Demon Abilities, were relatively unattractive to the Great Wizards, what more the Great Legend?
The secrets that Merlin contained were perhaps quite shocking but in Wizard Mogan’s eyes, they were no match compared to a single piece of information that he desired to ask.
“Merlin, did you came from the Glorious Land?”
Upon mention of the Glorious Land, a complicated look appeared on Wizard Mogan’s face, accompanied with a faint trace of excitement.
Merlin knew that he could not hide anything from Wizard Mogan. In addition, there was nothing worth hiding about it. So, he nodded. “I originated from the Glorious Land, and entered the Void Zone. Then, I incidentally found this dimension and descended here.”
“So, you’re indeed from the Glorious Land… Ah, Darkness Eye. The Great Legend of Darkness has fallen. Although his Pandora Demon Ability has been widely spread, it didn’t spread across the hundreds and thousands of dimensions in the Void Zone. It only stayed in the Glorious Land!”
It turned out that Wizard Mogan had actually guessed Merlin’s origins based on Darkness Eye. However, the news that shocked Merlin the most was that the Great Legend of Darkness had fallen.
The Legend of Darkness was one of the most powerful Legendary Wizards. He was an Honored Legend who was countless times stronger than the ordinary Legends. Back then, he led numerous Spell Casters to exile the gods and stepped into the Void Zone to conquer various dimensions. The intention was to proliferate the glory of Spell Casters to hundreds and thousands of dimensions.
The fact that even such a seemingly immortal Great Legend had fallen, was a great blow to Merlin.
However, what kind of power would cause such a powerful Great Legend to fall?
“As a Spell Caster from the Glorious Land, surely there are a lot of things you don’t know but it’s okay, I can tell you one by one! Come with me.”
Wizard Mogan turned around and clapped. Immediately, a magical force wrapped around Merlin. This force was very familiar to Merlin. It was the power of Maxims.
“Swish.”
This powerful surge from the power of Maxims could tear open the passage of space. Even without any Runic Magic Circle, it was able to penetrate through space.
“Let’s go!”
Wizard Mogan grabbed his hand and quickly led Merlin into the torn space passage. Following that, the crack gradually disappeared. From the beginning to the end, Wizard Dara, who was still inside the Glorious Pavilion, was completely oblivious.
Traveling through space exerted an enormous pressure but fortunately Merlin was protected by Wizard Mogan’s Maxim, so all he felt was a trace of pressure and did not suffer any actual damage.
Traveling through space took only an instant. Soon, Wizard Mogan had led Merlin through space to a gigantic castle. When Merlin saw the castle, his eyes shined, and a sense of familiarity was evoked.
The reason was that the style of the castle was similar to many of the castles in the Kingdom of Blackmoon, so Merlin felt like he had returned to the Kingdom of Blackmoon once again.
Wizard Mogan smiled and said, “Seems familiar right? This is what I’ve recreated based on the castles back in the Molta Empire. I’m the only one who can enter this place!”
Merlin did not know where this castle was located. All around them was a subtle trace of the power of Maxims. This power locked the surrounding areas and prevented Merlin from using his Mind Powers to explore.
Stepping into the castle, Merlin smelled a floral fragrance. The flowers in the castle were all in full bloom, like a picture of spring in full swing. This scenery was strange because he distinctly remembered that it was fall season, so it should be impossible to have so many flowers in full bloom.
Thus, Merlin looked at the sky. Although this place was very bright, the sky was just an endless vast of white, so he could not see anything.
With a head full of questions, Merlin followed Wizard Mogan into the hall of the castle. The interior was decorated with antiques and were all done in the style of the Molta Empire. It was apparent that Wizard Mogan missed the Molta Empire greatly.
“Wizard Mogan, what’s wrong with the Glorious Land? Currently, the Glorious Land in mired in complete decline, and even Great Wizards have become rare. Compared to the Spell Casters’ most glorious era, we have hit rock bottom.”
Merlin could not help but ask Wizard Mogan. This was also a question that Merlin had in his heart for a long time.
“Hitting rock bottom?”
Wizard Mogan did not answer right away. Instead, he asked Merlin, “Then you should know that when the Spell Casters stepped into the hundreds and thousands of dimensions, there was a terrible misfortune?”
Merlin nodded his head. “Just a little. Apparently, there was a war with a strange dimension that was very catastrophic, but I’m not sure what actually happened.”
Wizard Mogan’s expression gradually turned solemn. He looked at Merlin and articulated slowly, “Yes, a catastrophic war erupted, and the war hasn’t ended!”
“The war hasn’t ended?”
Merlin’s heart stopped, and he gazed at Wizard Mogan with a look of disbelief.
